Designing the TENs was a major treat
seeing all the variations of dominant perspectives as each set of numbers
came home to completion. THE CANNABIS CULTURE
PLAYING CARDSandTHE
HEMP CULTURE PLAYING CARDSwere focused on
using photos from THE
GREAT BOOKS OF HASHISH.(1sttrilogy). Photos
(never shown before) are introduced in these TENs
and will be in future books of THE
GREAT BOOKS OF HASHISH.trilogies.

The TEN
of DIAMONDS: Cover Photo of HIGHTIMES Magazine for the April 1979 issue.
is in our TOP 50 MOST PUBLISHED PHOTOS.
Larry 'Ratso" Slowman, then Editorial Director of HIGHTIMES assured
us that this issue, with over 435,000 copies sold was the Highest selling
issue of HIGHTIMES. Apparently that record still hold. This cover photo
began the lead into a 3 part series of centerfold stories entitled "MARIJUANA
AROUND THE WORLD" and was part
of 4 centerfolds in a row; the last featuring a story on Opium.

The TEN
of CLUBS: This
card is dedicated to our old and long time friend Wayne Bennett who immediately
upon seeing this card assured us that it would not be too long before
we were sued by Disney Studios since they owned the distribution rights
for anything to do with reproducing the the RCMP's logo. As well because
of the same lawsuit I would end up on the Dave Letterman Show. Photo first
appeared in Volume I, Book 2 of
THE GREAT BOOKS OF HASHISH.
